Hi,
been given the task of gaping dough pieces over 3 conveyors to reduce/correct the error in position
I will know the rate a which the dough pieces 'should' be coming at me (7000 per hour) so around 0.5 seconds between dough pieces
I plan to use power-flex 525 drives over Ethernet in studio 5000
my thoughts would be to have a photocell timing falling edge to falling edge of product and then working out a % to increase or decrease speed of the next conveyor.
not 100% on how i would do it to achieve an accurate result. the 3 conveyors are spanning a gap of 1 meter so need to work out whether these need to be equal in length or not.
and ideas that would a better solution or any sample code for something similar would be great.
Thanks
Ben
